I am sure that we have complained about this before, but will it ever end for me? I haven't worked in the computer industry for over a year now. It is nice just being able to do my own thing and not have to worry about it. But I will tell you a story and it makes me angry, yet I have to deal with it. So this lady my mom knows when I first moved over here wanted me to re-do their website. She at first just wanted some links changed, sure easy as pie, then it ended up wanting a whole new website. So I worked on it for like two weeks and at the time I didn't have a job yet from moving here so it was fine. I get it all done (mind you it's basically HTML web hosting, no php, etc.) So most it it was hand done using a text editor, so I put some time into it. Then when I got done with it she tells me that she wants custom video, custom database, weather updates etc. I am like this is way above me, you will have to hire a web design company. Never got paid for all my time I put into it etc. But whatever, Then a few weeks ago she has me come over to her house and decides to use it again. So thankfully I had the files saved but spent a few nights updating them since stuff had changed. I upload it to her website under a test folder so she can play with it live. She's like it looks good. I am thinking "I am finally done and can get you out of my hair". Then a few days later she texts me and goes can you come over again and discuss all the website changes that need to be made. I am like WTF this is just like the first time, this is all I can do for you lady. But here is the real kicker. She goes "oh and by the way, I bought a new computer and want you to transfer the old data to the new one" WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I don't do this stuff anymore, nor do I have the time. I remember seeing Her desktop and it was loaded on the desktop itself with stuff. I use to spend a solid day doing this at my old job and can't complete it in a night sitting after work. I hate this abuse of your knowledge, I know quite a few people on this board can agree with me.
